How would one fair blindly betting MLB dogs of +200..

throughout a season?

This question never gets old.

If you were to line shop and have some basic market timing skills (ie, wait a bit), you would historically make a tiny profit.

Just interested to hear what others think, I really am disgusted most of the time at the thought of laying -220 or so in an MLB game.

Now I don't personally blindly bet dogs in this situation, but I'm curious to hear if others might.

[Wheell]

I one saw a -400 in baseball. I would say that general handicapping matters more than market bias.

Baseball is way too unpredictable to be laying that much chalk.

People who are consistently successful with sides in bases rarely lay more than -130

[Wheell]

Sickler: That doesn't happen to be true, but I understand the sentiment. EV is EV though and sometimes a team that should be -180 is only -155.

[sickler]

Wheell, that might be one of the rare instances of laying more than -130, but playing big faves in bases on a regular basis is a good way to end up in the poorhouse.

-130 to +150 is where its at. Betting heavy chalk will get you no where, high priced dogs, while often appealing, are often priced at that number for a reason.

Baseball is a grind, grind out the small dogs and favorites for a full season, and then collect your $$...
